Introducing the Greenhithe School PTA

The Greenhithe School PTA is a group of parents and teachers who work together to support our school community. Our main focus is fundraising for additional resources that benefit all students, from playground upgrades and sports equipment to classroom materials and other projects identified by the school and Board.

We meet once a month on a Tuesday at 7pm and provide a friendly space to connect with other parents, share ideas, and discuss upcoming events and initiatives. You can be as involved as you like, attend meetings, help at events, or simply stay connected.

How much time does it take?
Even a small amount of time helps! Whether you can make meetings or just lend a hand at the occasional event, every bit of support makes a difference.
If you’d like to join our 2026 WhatsApp group, email us at [email protected], or stay updated via facebook.com/GreenhitheSchoolPTA.

PTA AGM—Coming up soon

The Greenhithe School PTA AGM will be held on Monday, 2nd March 2026, at 7:00pm in the school staffroom. We’ll also hold our first meeting of the year immediately afterward, and we’d love to see new faces; it’s a great chance to find out what the PTA is all about.

AGM Information
As per the PTA rules, all officer positions are available for re‑election. Nominations for Chairperson, Treasurer, and Secretary must be emailed to the Secretary at [email protected] by 5pm on Thursday, 26th February 2026.

Thanks,

Sjaan and the Greenhithe PTA team

This Week’s Event
To celebrate the end of week two, the PTA is hosting a free ice block giveaway this Friday from 3:00 to 3:15pm (or until we run out). All students and younger siblings are welcome; one per child, please.
